Imagine what it's doing to their children. Republicans and religious people who have a hand in this or turn a blind eye are filth. There's no redemption for this.

Have a coworker with family in Iran. She just got her citizenship, but I have no idea how much that is even worth in the modern moment.

She's a close friend and it was be a personal nightmare to lose her to some ICE thugs.

Ogle and Mace sent an email asking to denaturalize primary winner of NYC. They'll try and if they succeed they'll do it to other people.

Most of them are in denial. Every time I bring it up to my friends they're all like "yeah, but they won't come after me."

You will need to keep that hand iced. Maybe splint at night. If the skin breaks, get an ACE wrap.

Sorry, that sounds like a possibly risky amount of slapping you've been up to lately, especially if you've been (like most of us) in a low or no-slap lifestyle up until now.

The videos all over the internet expose everything. I can't imagine what it looks like from a normal country on the outside.

Horrifying and you are all apparently just complaining about on social media ( yes there have been a few protests, big whoop)

But fuck all if they could be bothered to vote…

Pew’s latest study suggests that Trump would have won even if they all voted.

Mostly because the majority of Americans seem to be OK with face eating leopards.

America is NOT a progressive country.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

In general, the people ARE actually pretty progressive (as evidenced byprogressive policies tending to be favored by overwhelming majorities when not attached to the name of someone the establishment has spent millions if not billions vilifying).

The main problem is that the political system has fallen so deep into corruption that it's a representative democracy in name only.

It's way past time for rebellion against not just the fascists, but also the system itself and the Democrats who consider it more important than the general welfare of the people.

"the people are progressive"

Said about a country that voted for trump, twice. And every corporate democrat in every primary.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

National elections are won by the over representation of land versus people and the winner-take-all electoral college.

It's a very broken system but it's the one we have. So yes, the people are progressive but land and the electoral college wins elections.

Both of those times were through an antiquated and unrepresentative system and with less than 50% the vote with low voter participation.

Less than a third of the eligible to vote population ≠ the country.

Well-meaning people pretending/being fooled into honestly believing that the presidential elections accurately reflect the will of the people without any trickery and downright fraud is how the corrupt demagoguery is allowed to persist.

Anyone who thinks that protesting will stop this is an idiot. Hypothetically, if you wanted to stop this, either you put on a FULL ON general strike, not 200,000 people, but 20 million. Or you go and get your guns, and start driving the fuck over to your state capitol, or better yet, the WH.
